FRÉDÉRIQUE MORREL AT SPAZIO ROSSANA ORLANDI

One of the highlights at Spazio Rossana Orlandi during Milan Design Week was an exhibition of work by Frédérique Morrel that included several passe-murailles (trophy sculptures), visitors (life size deer sculptures) and g{hosts}, or life size human sculptures. All are handmade and covered in vintage found needlework, beautifully set off by the courtyard setting.

Palate: Seafood Smorgasbord by Clare Crespo from mocoloco

Palate: Seafood Smorgasbord by Clare Crespo
by sabine7 / May 18, 2010


Palate, a group exhibition curated by Zio Fulcher, includes a crocheted seafood smorgasbord by Clare Crespo (how about that catfish po' boy?), a shellfish self-portrait by Jeph Gurecka and tempting blueberry pie by Martha Rich. Based on the premise that cooking is an important form of art and the fact that food then becomes the world's most common medium, Palate unites artists whose oeuvre includes food-based art, or the palette related to the palate.
